  • Publication number: 20230211805
    Abstract: A method for at least partially automated driving of a motor vehicle includes the steps of: determining that a need exists for infrastructure-based, at least partially automated driving of the motor vehicle, and transmitting, via a communication network, a request to transmit a plurality of infrastructure data based on which the motor vehicle is drivable in an at least partially automated manner, in response to determining that a need exists for infrastructure-based, at least partially automated driving of the motor vehicle. Receiving, via the communication network, the infrastructure data in response to transmitting the request. Generating a plurality of control signals for at least partially automated controlling of a lateral and/or a longitudinal operation of the motor vehicle based on the infrastructure data, and outputting the generated control signals.
